Kill the Lord of Nightmares
During their visit to the continent of Shisui, the Shadows of Existence encountered a powerful dream entity known as the Lord of Nightmares. In a brief battle, Knight managed to wound the Lord with his Dream Master's Nail, a feat unheard of by the locals. The Lord vowed vengeance and disappeared.
After hearing of this, the Dream Naga Queen requested that in return for her aid against The Apprentice of Shisui, Knight (and whatever allies he might bring) must track down and kill the Lord of Nightmares, as the Lord was an old enemy of the dream naga and seemed invulnerable to them.
Now the Shadows must carry out this mission for reasons twofold: They must fulfill their deal with their ally, and they know the Lord's vow of vengeance was not an idle one...
Structure
Resolution
The hunt ended with a confrontation between our heroes (Knight, Buzz, Deadalus, Terana, Sunderfury, Zaran, and Allen) and the Lord of Nightmares in the Shisui dream realm known as the Caverns and Castles of Darkness. The confrontation was exceptionally brief. What could have been a legendary battle opened and closed with Zaran calling for divine intervention from his patron, Ao.
Ao responded by nuking the entire region.
Our heroes woke up two days later in a farmhouse in waking Shisui. When they checked back in with the Dream Naga Queen, they discovered that the Caverns and Castles of Darkness were now a crater, there was no sign of the Lord (nor of his predecessor and father, Teremech, who the party had freed and recruited), and Shisui's dream plane now hosted a population of enormous dragons of all manner of alignments and tendencies.
While the impossible had been done and the mission completed, the Dream Naga Queen suggested that it was best if the party left the continent. She wasn't sure it could survive any more of their "help".
